Another one of Jeff Taylor's internet finds; we've no information at all with this one, but my guess is it dates from the mid-1930s. Does anyone recognise the location? Presumably a railway station in a reasonably large town?

I’ve just googled what has replaced this wonderful old building…what were they thinking?

I’m struggling to identify the large saloon car and I’m usually quite good, perhaps I’ll have to consult my Observers book!

Thanks Mike, I couldn’t zoom in as it is a low res picture (I think!)

I think this is a different view of the same building - from a steeple-jack's point of view.  Identifying the cars is perhaps a bit of challenge - though there is at least one Seven?

What a great picture, particularly the steeplejack’s safety equipment, shirt and tie and a trilby!
